Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............

[Ripster]

Got this one in yesterday, just now getting around to posting a pic. Got this one from a fellow collector for $20 that I've traded with many times, and couldn't pass it up. A Utica Girl Scout Featherweight with the GS Shield and black composite handles. The blades are like new, fantastic snap and looks to have never been on a stone since the factory edge. The blades and shields do have some tiny scratches & age spots, but I don't believe this has been used. There is a place on the bolster that looks like it could have been dropped, but doesn't bother me. A nice addition to my Scouts family. Here are some pics.

Very good looking Utica Smitty.

JP, that is a positively superb acquisition. Congrats!

Love your Spydercos against the red bandanas, Dan. Looks like you are on your way to becoming a major Spyderco collector.

Thank you Dan. Good looking Spidercos you found there.

Thank you for the kind words, gents! I have a long way to go before I become a major Spyderco collector. But the discounts they give to veterans will help in that regard.

Dan, nice Spyders and Bandannas
Garry ,Smitty ,Dan,Floyd ,thanks for the kind words

Got this one in the mail today to add to my Victorinox Alox group. New in the box Alox Farmer in Dark Blue. 3-3/4 inch closed. It has the SoCoCut logo on the master blade. I really like the color on this one.

Just picked up a new Buck 301. I'm really impressed with the quality of this knife. love the blade grinds on all three.
This will be a great EDC...

Smitty, JP, Dan, TMK, you guys have got some beauties there. Very nice, indeed. The bright blue Alox is really, really nice. Love that blue.

[Quick Steel]

TMK, I see what you mean about the grinds. Very nice indeed.

[Dan In MI]

JP and LJ, thank you for the accolades!

Smitty, that blue Alox is a sight to behold! And toomanyknives, if I'm correct, the Buck 301 is 3.875" long and American-made?

Good looking Buck TMK. Does it have a year indicator mark to the right of the model number? I can't tell in the photo.

Those Black Sawcut 300 series knives are great users.

For those who may not already know, don’t let the lack of handle pins or the lack of a pin through the shield fool you. The liner, the bolsters, and the shield are all the same piece of steel. The second photo was borrowed from member 300Bucks. It’s a better pic than the ones I have.

The method of attachment that Buck uses for the handles is far better than glue and possibly even better than pins. The handles start off with black “posts” on inner side. The posts go through the holes in the liners and then the posts are melted and sanded flush with the liner. Those little ridges on the outside perimeter of the holes keeps the handle from pulling away from the liner. The plastic melts into those ridges and creates a very secure attachment.

These Black Sawcut 300 series knives aren’t going to come apart under any kind of abuse the user can throw at them.

I echo what Philip stated. I was not aware of this construction method either. Thanks for educating us, Rick.
